It's kinda hard to say to an extent, having only recently got back into sim racing (but doing *a lot* of iracing back in the day) I started back on ACC and personally I found a lack of feel which I think is more me 'expecting' what iRacing gives in terms of feel and not getting it, I was getting better over time but since getting iRacing back up and running (I had to build a new PC as the anti-cheat didn't like my Unraid VM setup) I've not touched ACC since, but that arguably might be more a 'not-gt3' thing than a reflection of the games, I've only done a couple of races in iRacing GT3 cars.
That's probably one of the bigger differences, the different cars, ACC is mostly GT3 and afaik 'all' tin-tops? iRacing covers pretty much everything these days and the GT3's are far different than say the FF1600 or F4 cars, or oval cars, or rallycross cars, or... You get the point
Within the same class, so GT3 in my experience, I drove the Bentley 2018 in ACC and I've only got the McLaren 720S in iRacing, I found in terms of doing clean laps both were similar really, it's fundamentally the same thing I guess
But the way you achieve that and perhaps my pace was different, for the former the difference is braking, ACC is just stamp to 100% it seems whilst iRacing that isn't the fastest way so it's more nuanced perhaps but also and related to the second point it's more what I'm used to. Pace wise, and I think largely down to the familiarity with iRacing I was closer to the quick guys in iRacing than in ACC, still slow but 2s instead of 3-4s give or take.Some cars are 'harder' than GT3 though, back to the different options, things like the formula cars without ABS you can easily lock a wheel etc or just cars that are less planted/need a different driving style, but it's arguably those cars I enjoy driving much more than GT3.
